Yes checkout the "fiddle phuuck with your kimber" thread, and be prepared to fiddle phuuck with it.
Personally I'd shoot it. If it shoots like the average kimber, rebarrel it and save on fiddle phuucking time. If it shoots within your parameters, just keep shooting. Hmm. I’m up to 9 Kimbers now. Only 1 was difficult. I’m betting you’ve owned nowhere near that many and are just spouting off. To the OP: Shoot 200gr Accubonds in mine, but Federal TLR shot good too before it was discontinued. It’s under a different name now. Just be sure you’re hanging on for that first round. I was shooting 7mm magnums the other day then switched to a Montana 300. Got a good cut on the bridge of my nose on that first shot. Of course I haven't. If I spend over a grand on a rifle and it shoots 3" groups, I'm smart enough to never waste my money again. Search engine "kimber montana issues". All that needs to be done. "Kimber tinkering" - translation - the end user gets to be quality control. I think operator error was likely the problem. Rifles that light are hard to shoot. Definitely not for everyone. I got rid of a kimber hunter in 30-06 last spring that I couldn't get to shoot better than 2" groups at 100 yards. It was my first lightweight rifle with some recoil, and looking back it was probably all me. Have a Montana 84L in 30-06 now that shoots like a dream, technique is important in the lightweights.

Regardless of how it shoots and I bet it shoots well - I'd rebarrel to 7 wsm as it's a better mousetrap in that wrapper. Inside 800 yards it won't make a difference. And at least 300 WSM brass is obtainable. Sort of.

Big motivator for me and there's nothing I've ever done in the past with a 30 that I couldn't have done with a 7 too. Why I'd do what I said I'd do.

The Pointy Boot Fence Hopping Crowd,don't shoot anything other than their mouths and Imaginations. Then they like to prove it,by espousing outright Delusional Retardation. Hint. The 7 Whizzum simply throttles the 30cal version of same,in said platform and do thusly at sealevel. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/922/st62zq.png) Pardon reality yet again colliding with fhuqking FANTASY. Hint. P.S. and by the way,I hear that 30cal. false shoulders are THE way to roll in 7 Whizzum. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

This thread isn't about you, what you want, or what bullets you have. It's about the OP's new rifle. A 300 WSM. In the middle of shortages everywhere you and the resident narcissist recommend re-barreling a perfectly good rifle chambered in a round that has brass, bullets and ammo available to a round that has a severe shortage of brass and factory ammo. Brilliant...

It is fascinatingly HILARIOUS,how simplistic mechanical Facts,fuel soooo many Hurt Feeler Reports by the Professional "Victims". Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING! A Drooling CLUELESS Fhuqktard who has never even SEEN let alone shot said projectile,is trying to pawn her Hormones upon others. The 7 Whizzum will simply recoil less and GREATLY outperform it's 30cal cousin. This is a BIG day for her,because now she can honestly say she's "seen" one...the "lucky" kchunt. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/924/ObcLbJ.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/923/yE6Tp7.jpg) Pardon a 24" Montucky 7 Whizzum squirting same,crushing even a 30" 300 Whizzum squirting 212's. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/922/xqZkAl.jpg) Bless her Delusional Day Dreaming heart. Hint. Though Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!.....................
